Silver Embossed Hanukkah Card

Posted in Cards, Hanukah, Holiday Cards by lisababitz

(Inside text: Wishing you peace, health, and happiness)

This simple card design features the background stamp from the Gina K Designs “Inspiration Mosaic” stamp set along with stamps from both the “Menorah Medley” and the “Festival of Lights” stamp sets by Papertrey Ink. All of the images were stamped with versamark ink and heat embossed with Tsukineko Silver embossing powder on Gina K In the Navy card stock. This panel was layered on Gina K Powder Blue card stock and a white card base.

The inside sentiment was from a stamp called “Passover Saying, Item: H – 19719” from RubberHedgehog Stamps. The stamp says, “Wishing you peace, health, and happiness on Passover and always!” I masked off everything after the word “happiness” so I could use it in my Hanukkah card.

Nativity Lantern

Posted in Christmas, Paper Crafting Projects (other) by lisababitz

Nativity Lantern

This lantern is a Christmas version of a lantern I previously posted. It was made from a kit from svgcuts call Crisp Days of Fall SVG Kit. The kit contains the cut files to make this lantern with fall leaves, but also provided is a plain panel to which you can add your own design so it can be made for a variety of occasions. I used the plain panel and added the nativity scene to it. I made a bunch of these lanterns (with permission from svgcuts) for the Rolling Green Holiday Boutique, and they were big sellers!

The nativity panel I used for this project was a cut file I purchased from the Silhouette store called Nativity Luminary (#53021) by Lori Whitlock. The nativity scene for her luminary is in a square panel, so I needed to adapt it slightly to fit in this lantern panel. (I purchased a commercial license directly from Lori Whitlock’s site for this file.) Here is her luminary:

I used metallic bronze card stock (Recollections) and vellum for this project. Once all of the pieces were cut out by my Silhouette electronic die cutting machine, I assembled and glued everything together. A battery operated tea light placed inside makes the lantern glow. (Don’t use a real candle!!!)

SVGCuts has a great tutorial video to help with assembly of this project. (HERE is the You Tube video link for this project tutorial, or you can watch it on their site as well.)

In addition to the nativity theme, I also made one with snowflakes which are from the “extras” file from the “Christmas Box Cards” SVG kit by svgcuts.

Nativity Ornament Card

Nativity Ornament Card

(Inside Text: Wishing you a blessed Christmas and a Joyous New Year)

Wow, December really flew by!! I’m now just getting around to photographing and posting some of the projects I completed in November and December.

This Christmas card features a Silhouette cut file (Nativity Ornament Tag #70877) by Sophie Gallo, and digital paper from a set called “Craft and Silver Christmas” by POandPOdigital which I purchased HERE on Etsy.

I needed to simplify the star on the ornament since my machine was having a little trouble cutting the original design. The ornament and the frame (created with my Silhouette) were cut from paper from the Recollections Shimmer Silver and Champagne Card Stock pack from Michaels. (I used the one called champagne, I think. The silver in this pack is not your typical silver, and the two shades are very close.) These were adhered to the digital paper I printed on plain white card stock. The card base is Recollections ivory card stock. The ribbon and the rhinestone brad were also purchased at Michaels. The sentiment on the inside was computer generated.

Layered Hanukkah Card

Layered Hanukkah Card

(inside: May love and light fill your home and heart at Hanukkah.)

This layered card features printed shimmer card stock (and mats) from a Recollections pack called “Christmas – Holiday Printed Paper” which I picked up after the holidays last year. The pack contains 3 different 8 1/2 x 11 inch shimmer prints and 2 solid, matte colors. (The patterns are not really very “Christmas-y. In fact, the sales clerk almost didn’t give me the post-holiday clearance price because she didn’t think it qualified until I pointed out the title of the pack!) The shimmer on this card stock is so subtle and beautiful in real life.

(click on photo to see shimmer)

The greeting stamp on the front is by craftsmart which I also found at Michaels. The sentiment on the inside is called “Hanukkah Saying” (item: H-19716) from Rubber Hedgehog Rubber Stamps.

The center panel is popped up with foam tape. The ribbon is half sheer and half satin with an iridescent thread across the center.

I went back and forth on whether this card stock was appropriate for a Hanukkah card, but I thought it seemed to go so well with the elegant font of the greeting stamp.

Especially for You – Golf Themed Birthday Card

Especially for You – Golf Themed Birthday Card

(inside: hope your day is as fun as getting a hole-in-one! happy birthday)

For those of you who are not all that fond of golf – Ugh, another golf card! For those of you who are neutral or who are into golf, here’s another golf themed birthday card I made for the Rolling Green Holiday Boutique. (Just a little over a month more and then I can start making “regular” cards again!!!)

This 5×7 card features a large stamp called “Fairway to Heaven” from Indigo Blue. I used my MISTI and stamped it multiple times to get a nice solid, dark image. The greeting stamp is from the “Especially for You Duo” stamp set (retired?) from Gina K Designs. These images were stamped with Gina K Charcoal Brown ink.

I used an EK 2 Point Tag Punch to create the end of my greeting tag and my Marvy Paper Crimper for the vertical band.

Inside sentiment stamps are from the “Ed and Ethyl” page at Copper Leaf Creations and the “Birthday Blessings” from Gina K Designs.

Gina K Honey Mustard and Sweet Corn card stock and Recollections Ivory card stock were used along with GCD Studios “Thru the Woods” designer paper from the “Joyful Peace” collection.

The edges of all 9 layers/panels were inked with Gina K Charcoal Brown ink. A piece of yarn behind the corner of the greeting tag finished it off.
